Last Notes npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod @nprofile…4jnx enjoy the free marketing npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just released: Coracle Hosting! npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod agreeing on something requires centralization by definition, and is the exact function of a spec. We can't build a protocol specification that means anything if we all solipsistically build software in our closets. I am very tired of people failing to understand this basic fact. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod That's right, I couldn't remember who else was there npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I know that's not true for you npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I think there needs to be social proof for nips. Not just "I use this" which is stupid and not provable, but formal working groups that agree on a certain version of NIPs. @nprofile…wys9 and I talked about this a while back. Call them "cabals" just for fun. Depending on who is in a given cabal, or how many forks a given cabal's spec has promotes the cabal. This is better than flat voting because different cabals will take a different level of ownership/responsibility for the spec they maintain. We can't just get rid of politics because we like decentralization. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Do people think https://github.com/coracle-social/pomade is a bad idea, or do you just not know about it? It enables login with email and email-based recovery for any nostr app. Keys are stored in a multisig quorum distributed across several parties. It's resilient to custodians going offline via m of n thresholds. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Failed websocket requests are pretty common due to bad relay selections, so I don't think that's why. I can't replicate the problem, so I am not really sure what the problem could be 😕 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I have to say with reluctance that I did notice some tells. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod "The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yep, exactly right. AI is so interesting to me because it exists at such an incredible scale (across multiple dimensions) that the externalities seem to outweigh the straightforward effects of the technology in many areas, making it really counter intuitive to reason about. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod > no amount of UI design can really fix it. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm on the bulking phase myself npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This has inspired me to fix some things in coracle npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I don't think jack wants to personally evaluate 200+ projects npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just discovered this classic: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I forgot about that one, also really good. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Could it be Will Manidis? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod > Any unemployment from automation has to be preceded by a large gain in productivity npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod No, unfortunately, looks like my subscription ended npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sorry, that sounded aggressive, I just mean Illich is great npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Read Tools For Convivialityby Ivan Illich. The effect of a tool is determined by its scale and ecology. If only two businesses were allowed to mnufacture shovels that would be centralizing too. Thechallenge is in making this technology, which exists and can't not exist, into a convivial tool (manifested at a scale healthy for humanity). The other side (making them useful) depends on mitigati g all the weird externalities that come from having a "thinking" machine (skill atrophy, AI psychosis, etc etc). npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm optimistic that the mitigating factors do their job too. People will partially figure out how to use AI and not be captured by it, run local models, use it productively and not delusionally, etc. But intelligent approaches seem pretty marginal compared with the hype right now. The capex itself seems like it will inevitably create a massive bubble that will pop when it comes up against the hard limits of energy. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Paradoxical, not contradictory. That's his whole point in the article, that "long-termism" of the utilitarian sort can result in negative outcomes in utilitarian terms. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod These look good, thanks npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I live next to a sawmill, I feel this npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod shovels 1. help you get more done, increasing wealth, and 2. don't concentrate wealth in the hands of the guy who made the shovel npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This is an interesting point npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, the saving grace is that AI won't do all the things he expects. Although the article kind of explains that it doesn't matter — the economic displacement will happen anyway *without* the "economic miracle" to go along with it. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Incredible article npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I tried it a few months ago and liked it because it was fast, but it was quite dumb. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod "Excessive automation" due to AI hype is creating a massive pan-market opportunity for startups prepared to come in and pick up the pieces. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Is Opus 4.8 much dumber than it was yesterday? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The jokes write themselves 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod You should have said "it's like playing fetch with 6 dogs at once" then. But I still wouldn't believe you, because code review is much more like chess than fetch. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I can't effectively play chess against 6 people. and if I did, they would mostly be waiting for me. Or I would lose. This is an insane metaphor npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I saw this actually but I don't know if it would be good. I subscribed to their substack a while ago but the only thing he ever posted was announcements for events 😂 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod That's certainly how I feel npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The thing with llms is they don't remeber anything either. So unless you write very good context/skills they will get lost and duplicate code. At least on big teams someone usually owns most parts of the code (even if contributors leave). I will be interested to see how it works out long term. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I don't see how you can keep up with 6 sessions. Spec development takes time and so does review. And doing either properly gets harder as you become less familiar with the codebase. Are you not experiencing context drift? Or how do you cope with it? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Pretty boring tech (ts/rust/go), claude opus 4.7. The difference is probably context engineering. Your skill files in Ditto are very good. I thought spec driven development would do the same thing but it hasn't, and I haven't invested in writing skills for everything. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Ways I've tried to use LLMs for coding: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod If you use the "invite link" that Flotilla/pyramid generates it will work great. Direct links to rooms will never work without an invite link if access is gated. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod A rancher near me is in a similar situation, not because of taxes but because his kids don't want to continue ranching. His land is worth millions because of zoning restrictions and local population growth. I don't know what he makes, but the ranch produces about 50 calves every spring (each of which is named), which he raises and butchers. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, I intended it to work but didn't think through what would happen with people who weren't already members of the relay npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The direct link bypassed a lot of setup that happens in the background (gaining relay admission, setting up calls). I will look into this more closely. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod two words: scale dependence npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The absolute state of agent sandboxing npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 💯 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod #nevent1q…v82g npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Every nostr developer ever npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Because I am too tired to continue arguing with the same people about the same things for multiple years running npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Everyone wants muh users for nostr but that's a fiat/corporate mindset. Sovereign/sustainable computing is way cooler, and the thing that nostr and AI actually enable. It would be wonderful if schools taught kids what cryptographic identity was and how to write programs to solve your own problems. It would also be cool if we had good programming tools that were expressive and not just dozens of layers of garbage. In an ideal world, lisp/asm > js/swift/kotlin. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod This kind of thing gets me excited npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yes, I'm also very wrong, very often as well. It's the default human state. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod No, but I wish people on the internet weren't wrong so often npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod New new daily routine: run `osv-scanner` from https://osv.dev npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yes. And I do wish the incentives around grants were better (they don't generally result in very good products). But grantors/grantees aren't the enemy. People who say they are are just virtue signaling and/or being marxists. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod My daily experience on nostr: npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, I am feeling increasing pressure to remove dependencies and code stuff from scratch, or at least vendor deps. But I'm so deep in the ecosystem at this point it feels like an impossible task that I don't have time for. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod New daily routine: check hackernews for any npm supply chain attacks before doing any development npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod and yet keeping them out of the nips repo is "gatekeeping" npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 🫡 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Cool. Signer extensions could be much more than they are. It's so cool that they can sign for you that we forgot to add all the other neat stuff they can do (local relay, signing policies, add nostr features to the rest of the internet, profile management, follow list backup, relay management, etc) npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod coracle.social npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Oh, I see what you mean, former Red Hat engineer. That's good although clearly no one is immune from AI psychosis npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Looks good, but how do we know it's any good? More and more often stuff like this is just vibe coded, which optimizes for looking right over actually being right. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod You could try logging out and back in but I doubt that's it npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I've seen this kind of thing before, bad relay selections/no content can cause it to hang. But you're following plenty of people so I don't really have any guesses. I will keep my eyes open for any clues. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod You may need to turn it on in settings npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sorry, I thought this was easy, it's actually a stupidly big refactor. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Nothing to do with feeds not working though npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Well, my CSP blocked it anyway, but that's suspicious npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Mind pasting it? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yes, more compatible anyway npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod The websocket errors are normal, what I'd be looking for is something that says Error with a big long list of files and line numbers npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Ah, I see. They should linkify if you prefix them with `nostr:` . I experimented with dropping bare npub linking support per @nprofile…86rp's preferences, but I know it's confusing npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Not a lot of adoption, but I feel pretty good about the state of the software. Still filing off rough edges of course, but it basically works™️ npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What do you mean? Like if someone puts `npubxxx` in a post it doesn't auto-link? npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod devtools, nevermind, I just assume all nostr users are developers npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Do you get any errors in the console? It works ok for me npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Sure, I can do that npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod It's funny because coracle has had them via "custom feeds" since before relay feeds existed. But nobody liked the spec and my UI was confusing, so I yield npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Astroturf me pls npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Just working on Flotilla mostly nowadays npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Coracle 0.6.33 is out with a handful of features that have been requested for a LONG time: relay feeds (ala jumble), and reposts. I've also added poll support (both rendering and publishing), and moved the feed controls to a sidebar on desktop. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod 💯 npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I wish I had one haha npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Yeah, clients absolutely have to collapse reposts. Luckily, IIRC I have this logic in Coracle already npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod #nevent1q…eqsp npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I like showing reactions actually. The reason people pick one or the other is different. Reactions are for me, and to support the poster. Reposts are me saying HEY EVERYONE THIS IS IMPORTANT YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT. Obnoxious, but maybe sometimes what you want to do. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod *mine npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I have, and have rejected it because of a pet theory of mind. But people have been asking for years, so I'll go ahead and do it. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Supply chain attacks and implementation surface area mean it is delta_deps * delta_loc more risky than amber. That's one heuristic anyway. npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod What an amazing chart. This should be a meme npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Triangles are just slices of hexagons npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I like learning too, I'm just not a computer science nerd in the narrow sense npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod I'm just a dumb javascript dev so I don't care that much about the low-level stuff. Just copy and arc everything and I'm happy, haven't had to read any lifetimes yet npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod My back has never felt better npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn hodlbod Rust is straight up ergonomic. I like this language.
